Kirby's Dreamland 3 Now Available On Virtual Console

 
It's a new year, and Nintendo is settling back into new Virtual Console and WiiWare releases. Unfortunately, there are only two new games for your perusal this week. First up is the Super Nintendo's Kirby's Dreamland 3 for 800 points ($8). This game has the distinction of being the final first-party title released on the system, though you may find the music and the difficulty somewhat weaker than usual. Take this as a nice way of saying that your mileage may vary. Your WiiWare offering is Konami's Sandy Beach for 500 points ($5), which lets you construct "elaborate sand castles." Those with a creative bent can simply build, but there's also a tower defense mode in which players must defend their castle from invading crabs. (link)
